Your recent purchases

nicelynice, wow, the perks of living in japan. to be honest, of all the new stuff going out there, taichi is the only designer that makes me feel excited about clothes in the future. a friend of ours recently went to the ss preview--i have yet to hear what was on display.

when / where did you get your jacket? any other thoughts on taichi's work you might want to share? I know he worked for M.A+ Do you know how old is he? Have you met him?

Agreed, I'm quite impressed by Taichi's work. Absolutely beautiful materials and wonderful construction. This is the first item I've picked up from the brand, but I've had my eye on some coats as well. I saw a sampling of the upcoming SS collection at Carrefour (and I think it's showing at Lift now), more of the same great stuff.

I picked it up from Boutique W, they're having an archive/sample sale this weekend. I haven't had the chance to meet him, but if you're curious, there's a picture of him up on Carrefour's blog with an MA+ sales staff member and Takahashi-san of Carrefour (who was the one who introduced Taichi to MA+ in the first place!): http://www.couleur-coltd.com/2014/09...D%A5%E6%97%A5/ (Taichi is the one in the hat)

If you are interested in ordering anything, as well, I highly recommend Carrefour - wonderful staff, great English, and they will ship internationally (also right near where I live, haha)

oh, wow, he looks so young.

Thanks for the heads-up, nicelynice. I'll focus more closely on his work moving forward.

the thing about the DH wax jeans is the wax turns to piss yellow after a couple of years. Atleast for the blue ones

I'm not in Jiyugaoka proper but they are among the highest in Tokyo. Here's a map of with average rent prices of a 20-25 square meter studio apartment: http://www.gakusei-chintai.com/img/a.../map_tokyo.gif
Jiyugaoka is 101,428 yen

alphax010, may i ask how much?
and what's your usual size and which size you took in these?
i know the ones on the waywt thread are a variation on these, but i've been interested in them since i saw them worn by neogund and faust.

Keep in mind the difference between these which are sneaker soled ones (like geos and ramones) and the four different creeper soles that I know of (flat sole, old sawtooth, big ridges and new sawtooth (XL soles)).
